Voters perspectives for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections

  Voters perspectives for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections   By: Dr VK Bahuguna   The cacophonies of political leaders have started all over India for the next Lok Sabha elections to be held in the year 2024. This time the fractured polity of the country has also reached abroad where the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been giving vitriolic anti Modi speeches and inviting the people abroad to help protect Indian democracy. On the other hand Prime Minister Modi had addressed the Indian Diaspora in Sydney about his governments’ achievements in last 9 years recently while on an official tour to Australia during May 2023 and his party has started the campaigns in right earnest with Amit Shah claiming that BJP will win 300 seats. The Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who ran the state government for more than 20 years with BJP is now spearheading a movement along with R Chandrasekhar Rao Telangana Chief Minister to unite the opposition and strategising to unseat the BJP led...

Indian Democracy- Re-look needed

  Indian Democracy- Re-look needed By: Dr VK Bahuguna   We are in the 75 th year of independence and have grown from 30 crore in 1947 to 142 crore in 2023. People are happy that the country has got a new swanky Parliament building. Our generation who were born after the independence are particularly lucky that we have not seen the days when our parents and forefathers were ruled by the foreign powers, faced severe hardships and who were longing for the freedom and a bright future for their children. Much water has flown in river Ganga since the mid night of 14 th August 1947 when the erudite Jawaharlal Lal Nehru gave the historic famous ‘Tryst with Destiny speech’ one of the best speech ever given by Pandit Nehru in the constitution Assembly igniting the fury of hope for a bright future for the people and the country. The Constitution Assembly enacted the Constitution of India and adopted it on 26 th January 1950 and thus India that is Bharat became a Republic and our j...

नए संसद भवन के उद्घाटन पर - भारतीय लोकतंत्र और उसके राजनीतिक वर्ग का आकलन

नए संसद भवन के उद्घाटन पर - भारतीय लोकतंत्र और उसके राजनीतिक वर्ग का आकलन   द्वारा: डॉ वीके बहुगुणा   देश के लोग भारतीय स्वतंत्रता के 75 वर्ष को ' आजादी का अमृत महोत्सव ' के रूप में मना रहे हैं और सभी भारतीय 28 मई 2023 को प्रधान मंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी द्वारा नए संसद भवन के ऐतिहासिक उद्घाटन के साक्षी बने। लोकतंत्र के इस नए मंदिर का उद्घाटन हालांकि एक अनावश्यक विवाद से घिर गया क्योंकि 19 प्रमुख विपक्षी दलों ने इस आधार पर उद्घाटन समारोह का बहिष्कार करने का फैसला किया है कि नए भवन का उद्घाटन राष्ट्रपति द्वारा किया जाना चाहिए न कि प्रधान मंत्री द्वारा। यह ऐतिहासिक और सुंदर भवन कानून निर्माताओं द्वारा देश को चलाने के लिए भविष्य की बहस का स्थान होगा। यह दिन अंग्रेजों द्वारा ' काउंसिल हाउस ' के रूप में बनाई गई पुरानी राजसी गोलाकार इमारत के एक युग के अंत का भी संकेत देगा और   जिसका 18 जनवरी 1927 को उद्घाटन किया गया और 1935 के भारत सरकार अधिनियम (ब्रिटिश संसद द्वारा अधिनियमित सबसे लंबे अधिनियमों में से एक) को ध्यान में रखते हुए अगस्त 1935 में 321 धाराओं और 10 अनुसूच...
